Medical Negligence

Have you suffered a long-term injury as a result of medical negligence?

Medical negligence, also known as medical malpractice, is a term used to describe an incident where a medical professional has caused harm or injury to a patient while under their care. These cases can sometimes be hard to prove as some illnesses and injuries cannot be treated even with the best medical care. 

Our expert medical negligence lawyers are dedicated to helping you win the maximum compensation possible while helping you get your life back on track. 

Examples of Medical Negligence

How to Raise a Medical Compensation Claim

The window to lodge a medical negligence claim isn’t very wide so make sure you speak to one of our expert medical negligence lawyers as soon as possible. To ensure your compensation claim can go ahead we will need to be able to prove that:

• Negligent treatment resulted in injury or suffering
• Any injury sustained was caused by improper treatment
• The medical practice or practitioner’s treatment did not meet Australian standards

What Can I Claim and How Long Will it Take?

How much compensation you can claim depends on your situation and circumstance. Our experienced medical negligence lawyers will be able to give you an estimate of your entitlements once they have thoroughly reviewed all of your information and done any necessary research.

The time it takes to receive your entitlements also depends on your situation. Having an LHD lawyer by your side will ensure your entire compensation process goes faster, smoother and leaves you with a piece of mind.
